Two very different releases today.
The first was a Cooper's Hawk whose wing just didn't mend well enough to let her get any lift. I gave her months in the huge flight cage but it just wasn't happening. Blue light filled the space above her as she passed out of this life into the next. It was surprisingly beautiful and she went quickly for a healthy bird. It seems she was ready to move on.
The other was easier on the heart. My son and I released a Pied-billed Grebe into a protected pond this afternoon. The little booger ate 200 feeder fish in less than 24 hours! Nearly 600 in the time I got him back from another rehabber! Yikes. He swam around in front of us for a while and made several long underwater dives before setting off across the water. YAY
Both types of release are hard on the rehabber, in very different ways. May the gods watch over them both and bless their journeys!
Vote for my new book cover!

What a cool idea! Spilled Candy Books (www.spilledcandy.com) is running a contest to choose a cover for the revised and re-released version of my "Mabon" book. They have two great covers up right now.
I am nearly finished with the cookbook too. Gods, that has been a TON of fun to do. I am planning to have that in to Spilled Candy by May 1 because I know I will have little time to write and NO time to cook and play with recipes once the clinic's busy season starts. I clocked it this morning - with no babies in house and only 4 injured raptors (plus the houseload of permanent ones), it took me over an hour to get everyone fed and medicated. And my falcon needs meds 3x/day. Imagine when I've got babies to feed every hour. YIKES
